Meanwhile, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu advised Army Read Ejal Zamir about how to proceed. Zamir presented possible options for the continuation of the war that has been going on for 22 months, said Netanyahu’s office. According to Israeli media, the complete intake of the sealed Gaza Strip was not among the options set out by the chief of staff.
On Monday, several Israeli media had reported that Netanyahu penetrates the Gaza Strip in full despite the objection of military leadership. However, the Israeli security cabinet would first have to approve such a plan. As the TV broadcaster N12 now reported, the committee is scheduled to come together on Thursday.
So far, Netanyahu has not publicly commented on the plans. After the consultation with chief of staff Zamir, Netanyahu tends to take the coastal strip after consultation with the chief of staff – although the government is aware that such a procedure is likely to endanger the hostages there. According to Israeli assessment, there are currently 20 living hostages in the violence of Hamas.
According to media reports, there are great concerns in the army leadership of expanding the fights and taking the Gaza Strip completely, also because this can take years. In the message of the Netanyahu office, it was now said: “The army is ready to implement all decisions of the security cabinet.”
Opposition leader Jair Lapid warned the government against having Gaza fully taken. “What is heading for the cabinet and government will lead to all hostages die,” he wrote on the X. They would be tortured, tortured or died of the Israeli military.
For months of indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas about a deal for a ceasefire and the release of the hostages have so far been unsuccessful.
“I understand exactly what Hamas wants. She doesn’t want a deal,” said Netanyahu a few days ago after the shocking hostage videos were published by the terrorist organization. He was now even more determined to free the hostages and eliminate Hamas. The forum of the hostage families then criticized Netanyahu. “The public has been selling the public for 22 months that military pressure and intensive fights will bring the hostages back,” said the “Times of Israel” in an explanation.
